Review

Little Ned is in bed counting sheep late on Christmas Eve, but the excitement gets too much and he bursts out of the front door - without his pyjamas. Despite his parents' calls to get some clothes on - and an encounter with an embarrassed snowman - Ned runs through the town naked, desperate to meet Father Christmas. And when he does, something unexpected happens!

This hilarious rhyming book by Kes Gray and illustrated by Garry Parsons, the illustrator of the Dinosaur That Pooped… series, is a brilliantly silly one to share, especially at bedtime in the run up to Christmas. With bottoms aplenty and some well-placed flaps to lift, it's an original idea, and, most importantly, huge fun.
